You'll have to play that out I suppose, unless you KNOW the person is out to get something.

I've had a hard time learning this, especially from church members who only want to take advantage of my expertise for thier own gain.

I believe in helping those of the household of faith, it does bother me when all they want to do is help themselves.

People play little games to try and tease others into trusting them. Too many times it is to either get what they want from them monetarilly, or to impugn their character as if it gains them popularity or honor.

I like the "tried and true" brethren, the hypocrites can take a walk!
I think I understand this, thanks.
